This team is not good. I had them pegged at 90-92 wins and maybe missing the Playoffs but that may have been optimistic. Lineup is very easy to pitch to.

Histerical that so many Phillies fans here had no interest whatsoever in Teoscar Hernandez. He'd be our 3rd best player.

Reports were he only wanted to sign in LA. The Reds went hard after him before ending up having to settle for Hays who is hurt ....

Tale as old as time.

Yeah I was more referencing offseason conversations we had about possible OF upgrades prior to Teoscar signing with LA.

Also, Hays is a f***ing mutt.

3 years at 32yo and one of the worst defensive players in the entire league. I’m standing by that one for this team.

Others can absorb that profile better. They already have Castellanos filling that archetype. I don’t think anyone’s in a hurry to dislodge Schwarber. That leaves you without a ton of wiggle room. If they traded Castellanos, sure. It’s not like they didn’t try.

He is a horrendous fit on this squad from every angle: his approach, his swing and miss, his defense, and his contract. One way ticket to nocandosville

They made it to the World Series with Kyle in LF and Rhys at 1B every day. I feel like people forget that. Two of the absolute worst fielders at their respective positions that year.

They've improved their LF, CF, and 1B defense over the past 2 seasons and yet have diminishing returns to show for it.

Now, I would have obviously loved to trade Nick prior to adding a player like Teoscar. But, I would be absolutely fine with Teoscar and Nick as the corner OFers. Historically, Kepler isn't much better in the OF, and has been slightly worse this season so far, while providing next to nothing at the plate.

To frame it a different way, we can afford Teoscar's shortcoming more than Keplers at this point. The only real argument there is contract.
